Gin the work Of q large farm
house. OverworE brought on
sick headache, followed a
deathly faintiig and sicl,r, IS
of the stomach, until | was
unable to retain either food OF
drink. | was compelled to
take to nay bed for several
weeks. Getting a little better
from res: and quiet, | sought
to do some work, butwas soon
taken with a pain in my side,
which IN a little while seemed
to spread over my whole body,
and tlrobbed in my every hmh.
This was followed by a cough
and shortness of breath. until
finally l could not sew, and !
took to my bed for the second,
and, as / thought, for the last
time. Ny friends told me that
my time had nearly come, and
that | could not live longer
thsn when the trees put ON
their green once more. Then |
happened to get one Of the Sci
gel pamphlets. | read 1t, and
my dear mother bought me a
bottle of SErGEL's SYRur,
Shaker Extract of Roots
which took exactly according
to directions, and | had not
taken the whole OF it before |
felt a change for the better. !. +
last illness began June 81,
1882, and continued to August
eth, when | began to take the
Syrup. Very soon ] could do p
little Eoht work. The couch
left me, and | was no more
troubled in breathing. Now l
nm perfectly cured; and Oh,
now happy l am! | cannot
express gratitude enough FIR

We're thereby influenced to de-
stroy the Seigel pamphlets; hat
now, whenever one Is to ho
found, it Is kept like a relic.
The few preserved are be-
rowed to read, and | have lena

district. People have come
eighteen miles to getme to buy
the medicine for them, know
ing that it cured me, and to be
sure to get the right kind. [
know a woman who was look
ING like death, and who told
them there was no help for her,
that she had consulted several
doctors, but none could help
her. | told her of Seigel's
Syrup, and wrote the name
down for her that she might
make no mistake. She took
my advice and the Syrup, and
now she is in perfect health,
and the people around us are
amazed. The medicine has
made such progress in our
neighborhood that people say
they don't want the doctor any
more, but they take the Syrup.
Sufferers from govt who were
confined to their beds and could
hardly move a finger have been
cured by it. There is a girl in
our district who caught a cold
by going through some water,
and was in bed five years with
costiveness and rheumaticpainS,
and had to have an attendant
to watch by her. There WAS
not a doctor in the surrounding

church, and can work even in the
fields. Everybody was ostonished
